Dave Williams   4/18/2009 11:33  Great web part. Is it possible to provide an option to display picture title and description? Juerg   4/20/2009 13:40  Dave, the picture titles and descriptions are currently displayed as a tooltip when hovering over the pictures. Would you rather be able to have "real" picture titles and captions ? Jennifer   4/27/2009 22:58  If you do not have access to put content into the config file, I assume you are out of look in using this web part or any of the others. Right? Peter   4/28/2009 06:26  I know you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but if you use Lightbox, why not use the Lightbox navigation as well? This web part is pretty nice, but I miss the 'previous' and 'next' buttons... Juerg   4/29/2009 09:57  Jennifer, we will soon support "real " WSP based installation, but you will need Administrator rights in any case when you deploy a web part. Patricia   4/29/2009 11:51  Hi! I am trying this web part in WSS 3.0 and I have a problem: When I introduce the List Name, the Web PArt show a error message: "(my list name) Sharepoint List not found! " Could you give any idea about this problem? thank you! Patricia Sudhir Tiwari   4/30/2009 12:28  While adding this Web Part to page, I am getting the below error: "A Web Part or Web Form control on this page canot be displayed or imported. The type is not registered as safe" Can you please tell me how to resolve this? Juerg   4/30/2009 14:57  Sudhir, you have to add the following line to the "<SAFECONTROLS>" section of your  Web.Config  file: <SAFECONTROL Safe="True" TypeName="*" Namespace="LightboxWebpart" Assembly="LightboxWebpart, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6574d83819c8fc89" /> Please make sure that this is on one single line  (no line breaks). Please also make sure that you placed the line into the right web.config file, since you might have multiple Sharepoint  applications installed  on the same machine. The default application typically is found in c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/wss/VirtualDirectories/80 Normann P. Nielsen   5/6/2009 11:02  Almost a great webpart, but is seems the "popup" box always centers according to the complete monitor/screen, not the browser window? If I dont have maximized the IE, some of the popup is hidden... RichT   5/7/2009 20:36  I'm interested in installing this Lightbox Web Part on a large picture library. Does it have the ability to filter? I'd like to filter the pictures to a smaller set based on user input using a URL parameter or web part connection. Thanks Juerg   5/12/2009 15:25  Rick, I assume you don't want the Lightbox web part to sit on the Picture Library page itself and use a filter webpart plus a web part connection. In this case we would have to add a (persistent?) user input box to be used as a filter criterion. Would you like to filter based on the Title column ? Sudhir Tiwari   5/14/2009 22:14  Thanks Juerg !!. I was missing control entry in the correct web.config. Its a great webpart. Dan Rosenberger   5/19/2009 22:48  Everything seems to be working great except when a thumbnail is clicked on, the "lightbox" or full view of the pic isnt' actually displaying at full resolution (much smaller / distorted)...any suggestions? Juerg   5/20/2009 10:18  Dan, are all images affected ? What is the typical dimension (in pixels) of your images ? Dan Rosenberger   5/20/2009 14:31  Yeah it seems to be all pics, i just tried a 2000x1300 pic and the problem is when i launch the picture from the light box, it opens in a larger view, but not the native resolution of the pic. It behaves just like the picture library its stored in, in there, you have to click on the photo once to see the details / description and at a semi-larger view, but still click a 2'nd time to see in full resolution Dan Rosenberger   5/20/2009 14:50  Same thing w/ a 1024x768 res pic, still "shrinks" it a bit, not a prob for most things, but for a picutre w/ some details / text in it, the shrinking hurts the pic. Env is WSS 3.0 w/ Moss2007 Juerg   5/20/2009 15:37  Dan, the web part scales the picture preview to a max. of 800 pixels (width) and 600 pixels (height) while preserving the aspect ratio. This is done to insure that the preview image fits on a typical screen. tommy   6/13/2009 09:48  Great piece of Web part, is it possible to include next and previous buttons to the light box so that user can stay in the light box and traverse through different image,. thanks :) Rabie Belkire   6/15/2009 12:49  i tried all your steps exactly also i used the same webconfig file that you already minsined, and it gaves me this error "Picture Lightbox:cannot import this webpart". if you have any suggestion just tell me Juerg   6/15/2009 14:55  Rabie, can you check if the trust level in your web.config file is set to “WSS_Minimal” ? If so, can you try to set it to “medium” as follows: <trust level="WSS_Medium" originUrl="" /> Mike   6/19/2009 15:01  Is it possible to center this web part in its containing zone? Currently this web part aligns to the left most part of the page. And in my case, i want only this web part to show up in the page and centered. Is this possible? Danny   6/22/2009 15:37  Great looking component. Only thing I'm missing is the handling (navigating) of (sub-)folders in the picture list. That would make it perfect! Juerg   6/23/2009 15:02  Mike, good suggestion. We have now updated the web part to be centered within the web part zone. Please re-download the ZIP file, extract and replace the DLL, followed by an IIS Reset. Derek   6/23/2009 19:28  Hi Error Picture Lightbox:cannot import this webpart The powerpoint webpart worked for me. Currently my trust setting is medium, Any ideas? Juerg   6/24/2009 13:47  Derek, can you indicate which web part exactly worked for you (we don’t have a “Powerpoint” web part) ? You might try to move the DLL from your BIN folder to c:\windows\assembly (please make sure to not leave a copy in the BIN directory). This gives the web part elevated privileges. You’ll also have to reset IIS after having moved the DLL. Antonio Ambrosio   7/1/2009 22:14  Ciao Juerg, the web part is really fantastic! As also another reader wrote, is it in your plans to add "prevoius" and "next" arrows to navigate images in the lightbox? Thanks Antonio Don McGaw   7/24/2009 17:39  Love the web part is there any chance you can make it compatible with the code found here to make it expand/collapse by an end user. http://pathtosharepoint.wordpress.com/2008/10/25/expandcollapse-buttons-for-your-web-parts/ Tricia   8/3/2009 17:41  This webpart is great. One question though is there a way to have the newer pictures that are put on appear on the first preview pages? I have noticed that as pictures are added they go to the later pages and so it looks as if the pictures are not being updated because the same old pictures remain as the first page preview. shikarishambu   8/5/2009 00:44  I think this one is a lot faster than the LyteBox for sharepoint. And, a bit more configurable. The downsides - no install file, no prev/next, no auto play and need to add safe control. If some of these can be addressed this will be a great addition to any sharepoint site. Juerg   8/6/2009 10:52  Tricia, we now have added a new "View Name" web part parameter to allow to select a list view. If you thus want to display the newest images on top, just create a new View for your Picture Library and sort it descending by the "Created" field. Enter the name of your List View into the "View Name" field. You have to re-download the new Zip file, extract and replace the DLL (If your DLL is in the GAC, you'll also need to do an IIS Reset). Karuana   8/10/2009 08:23  Great webpart... Love being able to select the views. Do you think you'll be adding prev/next buttons? That would be truly perfect! Thank you! Indika   8/31/2009 08:28  Please let us know how do we install this on a 64 bit Windows 2008 server. When we try to add the web part to the page we get the error, "Unable to add selected web part(s). AE Picture Lightbox: Cannot import the Lightbox web Part." Jason Morency   9/2/2009 20:10  Hi I can't seem to filter on the Views. I have a couple vies setup, but each time I get an error saying it can't find the specified view. If I take out the view name, it works great...its only when I try to filter. The views themselves work great, its not the view thats an issue. Thanks! Jason Morency   9/2/2009 20:14  Just to add to my last comment. If I add my view name, I get this error: "Sharepoint List not found!" If I add a junk view name that doesn't exist, I get this error: "Sharepoint View not found" So its weird that when I put in the correct view name I get an error that the List cannot be found, and then if I only change the view name and put in jibberish, I get that the view cannot be found. Anne   9/4/2009 17:40  Great Web Part (like all web parts on this site!!) I do have a problem with the title of the webpart that can be entered in edit mode - Appearance - Title. It is showing it fine in the edit view when I save it, but when I go to the "regular" view, it is not shown. Dave L   9/9/2009 15:30  Great web parts! My onlt issue with this one is when you have a picture library with hundreds of photo's in it and you select Enable paging, the part showed 92 pages across the top rather than something like " < 1 2 3 4 5 ... > " where the page numbers would keep 5 page numbers displayed in the selection and allow you to use > and < for next or previous page. Steve Ironside   9/11/2009 13:56  I'm having the same problem as Jason - created a view to try and sort the photos, but can't get it to work with the webpart; I'm also getting the ": Sharepoint List not found!" error. Sayitfast   9/22/2009 02:10  Great web part.... I have one suggestion... on large page with many rows... if you select an image at the bottom the lightbox forces you to scroll up to see the picture. Thanks Mahmoud   9/27/2009 09:11  I'm having the same problem as Jason and steve - created a view to try and sort the photos, but can't get it to work with the webpart; I'm also getting the ": Sharepoint List not found!" error. Juerg   9/29/2009 16:12  Anne, Sharepoint sometimes needs another page refresh to properly reflect the changes. You can of course specify your own custom web part title. Juerg   9/29/2009 16:17  Jason and Steve, this happens if you place a List web part referring to the same picture on the same page. This seems to be a Sharepoint bug and can only be corrected if you remove the List web part from the page. Joe   10/20/2009 14:40  hi, i have the same problem like Jason and Steve and i checked my site and didn't find any refference to the same picture. Lightbox is the only webpart i have on that site. This webpart works great when it is used for viewing all images but it is useless to me without filtering. please help. Juerg   10/23/2009 15:53  Joe and Jason, please make sure that you select (add) both the "Title" and "Description" column to your List View. If these columns are missing in the View, you will get that misleading "List not found" message (BTW, the most recent version of the web part now emits a more helpful error message in this case). Shrikant   11/2/2009 12:48  Web part is great, but I am facing a problem. It doesnt show the Image preview on clicking any photo. Help fast !! Any suggestions people? Dave   11/11/2009 21:58  For some reason i can't get this to work with WSS...is it not compatible? my web.config file doesn't have a <SafeControls> section...i tried adding one...but probably didn't do it right sandhya   11/12/2009 05:34  hi, I have installed the web part and trying to configure the properties as per given steps, but when i click on Apply/Ok, no post is done and no changes are applied. Can you please tell me what need to be done. AliReza   11/16/2009 16:07  i have a problem by Site name. my galery is in this address : http://entekhab/service/forum/DocLib/Forms/AllItems.aspx and i want put this webpart in in this address : http://entekhab/service/forum/default.aspx How can i set "Site Name" in Miscellaneous option? thanks M.R.   11/23/2009 15:53  'View Name' feature does not work. I am geting the following error message 'List does not exist'. Why? The list name is correct. If I remove the view name then it works but without filtering by view. M.R.   11/24/2009 20:47  Note: "Description" column is present in the List View Juerg   12/1/2009 14:24  Shrikant, do you get a „hand“ cursor and the tooltip when hovering over an image ?  Which browser are you using ? Juerg   12/1/2009 14:47  M.R. did you also include the "Title" column in your List View ? Juerg   12/1/2009 14:56  AliReza, since your "DocLib" Library is in the same site as your webpart, you can leave the "Site Name" field empty and put "DocLib" into the "List Name" field. M.R.   12/1/2009 17:17  Hi Juerg, Title column was indeed missing from the specific views. I added it and now it works correctly! Thank you for helping me to get it fixed! Regards, M.R. Juerg   12/1/2009 18:13  Dave, the Lightbox web part works OK with WSS 3.0. Please also make sure that you placed the <SafeControl> line into the right web.config file, since you might have multiple Sharepoint applications installed on the same machine. The default application typically is found at c:/Inetpub/wwwroot/wss/VirtualDirectories/80 Aaron Ferguson   12/2/2009 15:38  I can't get the Description column to appear on the preview (it exists in the list view and is populated) - any ideas? Juerg   12/3/2009 10:26  Aaron, did you specify a „View Name“ ? If yes, please make sure to also include the “Description” column in your View (by going to the "Picture Library Settings", then selecting your View at the bottom and then checking the column on the “Edit View” page) Aaron Ferguson   12/3/2009 13:11  Hi Juerg. Yes I did specify a view name which did include the Description column. The text appears when you mouse over a thumbnail but not on the preview image. Another problem I had is that when specifying a view name some of the thumbnails are shown as white boxes - but the preview image is OK, so I've gone back to the default view which shows them OK. Aaron Ferguson   12/4/2009 10:22  Next thing is that the webpart does not honour the ordering of the items via the view but seems to be showing them in order of upload... rishi   12/4/2009 11:57  I keep on getting a runtime error. sorry I am not very technical, but can anyone help. Juerg   12/7/2009 13:24  Rishi, what does the error message say ? Landon   12/10/2009 19:57  I like it a lot, but is there anyway we can specify a custom description column that can render rich text? I would love the ability to include hyperlinks and some formatting in the display. kuttoose   12/16/2009 10:30  Is list name is "Image folder Name" please give me a sample Ed   12/28/2009 01:32  When the webpart is not at the top of the page and the user clicks on a picture, the browser shows a transparent window and you have to scroll to the top of the page to view the image. Can the image be displayed next to where the webpart is on the webpage? Thanks. Bob   1/12/2010 19:01  I have this web part from awile back. Is the title and description showing up on the actual picture a new feature (the red tulip picture above)? How do I get it to show up? Do I need to download the most recent version? Bob   1/12/2010 19:16  Nevermind, My title and description columns weren't checked in the photo library. Works great now! Jaivy Daam   1/13/2010 11:42  Everything works fine, but when i try to add the webpart to a zone it says, can't import the webpart. No other errors have been mentioned. Can someone help me? Dave Williams   1/29/2010 16:05  Is is possible to provide an enhancement so that the web part can display images from a folder within the picture library? Robert    2/5/2010 01:36  I have an issue that the thumbnails do not showup. If you click on the box the full picture does show. And in IE I have 3 rows with 5 columns, but in firefox I have a 3x3. Any thoughts? Matt   2/5/2010 11:46  A great web part. I have it showing 4 columns and 1 row with paging turned on ..... our people love it. Tony   2/11/2010 20:31  We are considering this picture light box web part. Can anyone provide a live installation we could see? www. Shaz   2/11/2010 20:41  My photos are 600x800 in size, but I can't display the thumbnails larger than 100px. When I set the Thumbnail Size to 200 - the picture remains the same size and the remaing space is colored grey. I would have throught the thumbnail size would have increased to 200. How can I increase the size of the thumbnail displayed? Thanks! Dave Williams   2/22/2010 20:49  Further to my last post you indicated that folder support may be added to the next release. I could really do with this functionality so could you give some indication when this may be? If it is soon I will put this client requirement on hold until available. S Saleh   2/27/2010 11:30  I've downloaded the LightBox webpart and added the .dll to the sps bin folder, I added the text in the relevant web.config file. Uploaded the webpart to the gallery but when i try to add it to a page I get the following error:- 'Unable to add selected webpart' Lightbox 'Request for the permission of type 'Microsoft.Sharepoint.Security.SharepointPermission.Version = 12.0.0.0 Culture = Neutral PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c failed. Please help, and thank you so much for the great webparts Juerg   3/11/2010 17:49  S Saleh, please check if your Trust level is set to "WSS_Minimal". If yes, please modify the web.config file in the virtual directory root for your site and change the following tag <TRUST level="WSS_Minimal" originUrl="" /> to <TRUST level="WSS_Medium" originUrl="" /> The difference between Minimal and Medium is the addition of SharePoint object-model access. You can alternatively move the DLL from the application’s BIN folder to c:\windows\assembly where it will get “full” trust. Bob   3/16/2010 23:17  Occasionally, one picture will not work, i.e. nothing happens when you click on it. It seems to pick specific pictures and no matter what you do (different file name, resave, reupload) etc. it won't work for that specific image. Any ideas why? Juerg   3/17/2010 13:48  Bob, do you mean that certain pictures consistently do not allow to be viewed or is this an intermittent problem (eg. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t)? If so, what is the filetype of thee picture(s) ? Rosa   3/18/2010 02:38  We have the same problem. The picture library has 34 pictures, all relatively small in file size and dimension.. only 12 of them 'popup'. I can't work out any consistent cause for this issue. All are JPGS, I have one picture uploaded twice, one works, one doesn't. BUT - with the one that works, as soon as I add text into the description, it doesn't work. The only other weird thing I can't work out, is that when you right click as save on some pictures, it seems to replace the .jpg with _jpg... is this IE8 or sharepoint? Or a combination of the two? Very odd! Bob   3/18/2010 14:59  Juerg, I figured it out. It happens when there is an apostrophe in the title or description. Juerg   3/18/2010 15:08  Bob and Rosa, thanks for your feedback! We have now fixed this. Please re-download the Zip file, extract and then replace the DLL (followed by an “iisreset” if you placed the DLL in c:\windows\assembly) M.R.   3/19/2010 19:01  I downloaded the zip file but DLL version is still the same as old one, 1.0.0.0. Is this right? Juerg   3/22/2010 08:56  M.R., please check the version number at the top of the web part's configuration pane. The most recent version is 1.1.0 Nick   4/5/2010 17:43  Hi, thanks for the free web part. Any luck on including "Prev" and "Next" buttons in the lightbox so that users can navigate through the gallery without having to close and re-open the modal every single time? OR, release the source, and let one of us willing consumers help out with that part of the project! -Thanks! Bob H.   4/8/2010 15:52  Hi Juerg, The new web part fixes the special character problems EXCEPT for quotes ". When you put quotes in title or description the lightbox action does not work. Juerg   4/12/2010 16:59  Bob, the web part now also takes care of double quotes. Please re-download the updated Zip file and replace the DLL. dheeraj   4/13/2010 11:21  How can i achieve linking of those pictures with a seperate page.I have created a column in the pictures which are present in the picture library but that doesn't seem to work. when i click on the picture it's preview is show i want to link that picture with another page. Can we achieve this ? Juerg   4/15/2010 15:39  dheeray, do I correctly understand that instead of popping up the original full size image you'd rather want to link to another page (associated with the image) when clicking on the image thumbnail ? Karen   4/20/2010 22:20  Hello, I am having an issue importing my web part to a page. I followed all installation steps as indicated (placing the dll in the gac). I appear to have the trust level set correctly in the web.config (as I saw in an earlier post), but when I go to add the web part to a page, I get the error "Cannot import the Lightbox Web Part". I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you! Juerg   4/22/2010 11:20  Karen, we have now added a WSP solution file to the Lightbox Zip package to support automatic deployment and recommend that you use the automatic deployment option (as described in the Lightbox Web Part Installation PDF, see above). Rosa   5/11/2010 02:52  Love this web part - Any chance of a disable right click version?? Juerg   5/11/2010 09:40  Rosa, what do you mean by "disable right click version" ? Rosa   5/17/2010 03:39  In the popup that shows the picture, I'd love to disable right click to stop people selecting 'Save Picture As'.. I know it's not an absolute way to stop people saving the picture, but it makes it that little bit harder and will satisfy some people here (it's a school thing!)!! Juerg   5/17/2010 10:55  Rosa, this is technically not possible, since the browser itself offers this menu option (which cannot get suppressed by code unless you add some registry tweak on a global basis) Gabriel   5/17/2010 14:34  does it work in a portuguese language site? for example some webparts simply don't work when they were supposed to work, but in english language they work normally. Thanks Juerg   5/17/2010 14:50  Gabriel, the web part should actually work fine in portugese. Rosa   5/18/2010 09:10  Damn - you can add a small script webpart to your page to stop people right clicking there, I was hoping the same might be able to be added to that 'popup' for the photo. (When you have it on the background page with the thumbnails - it works fine, but not once you click and get the popup that appears with the full size pic.) Juerg   5/18/2010 09:15  Rosa, can you give the details about the script you mentioned. We'd be glad to integrate it into the web part. Filipe   6/8/2010 14:06  Hi. I am trying this web part in WSS 3.0 with ssl. I use a picture libary with the photos. But the internet explorer display a security warning with the message that the pictures are not delivered ussing a secure https connection, this occurred when click in the picture. Could you give any idea about this problem? thank you! molly   6/18/2010 20:50  Hi. I just loaded this web part. When I click on my boxes, a slide show pops up and I can advance through my 4 photos. I can't get the links to work as they are supposed to go to web sites...ideas? Juerg   6/21/2010 16:32  Molly, if you want to link your thumbnail images to a website, please add an „URL“ column to your Sharepoint Picture Library and enter the corresponding URL’s for each picture into this column. When you then click on the thumbnail image in the Lightbox Web Part, the link will open in a popup window instead of the picture. The size of the new browser window is actually controlled by the Picture width and height. molly   6/21/2010 23:38  I've added a column and web addresses to correspond with each photo. When I click the photo I still just get the photo and it says 1 of 5. Any other ideas? Juerg   6/23/2010 20:46  molly, we added this feature by the end of April. Can you check the version number of the web part (by opening the web part's configuration pane and looking it up at the top). The version should be 1.1.2 or higher Rich.T   7/6/2010 18:07  Hi Juerg, Following on from a previous comment, i do not want my thumbnails to be aligned center. Is there any source code i can alter to change this to align them left? Thanks, Rich Juerg   7/7/2010 11:47  Rich, we have now added a new „Center Thumbnails” web part setting to allow you to left-align the lightbox. Please re-download the updated Zip file, extract and then replace the DLL (followed by an “iisreset” command if you placed the DLL in c:\windows\assembly) Jenifer   7/19/2010 15:19  Hi,can u help for how to display title for each thumbnail and View name is not working properly in my site.Images are not displaying when i give the new view name.Kindly help me as soon as possible Juerg   7/19/2010 15:47  Jenifer, you need to enable both the Picture Library’s „Title“ and „Description” columns (besides the “Picture Height” and “Picture Width” columns which are also needed) for the View you are addressing by the Lightbox Web Part. Please note that both the Title and the Description are only shown for the thumbnails when hover over the thumbnail images. Both Title and Description are fully displayed when clicking on the thumbnail to open the original image. What exactly happens when you specify a view ? Do the thumbnails display (but not the full images) ? Revathy   7/20/2010 16:01  This’s Revathy. The New dll which you have reloaded is not working for me ……. What should I do?......It’s showing the same features as before… Juerg   7/20/2010 16:06  Revathy, can you check your web part's version number by opening the web part tool pane and looking it up at the top: The most recent version is 1.1.12 Steve Oke   8/5/2010 18:43  Loved the Slideshow Web Part but can't get the Lightbox Web Part to work. The picture library is located in the same site as the web part but I am still getting this message: "Site not found: " ( I have left the site name field blank) I have tried the picture library that I used for your slideshow web part and still get the same error. Any ideas? Juerg   8/5/2010 19:09  Steve, did you use the WSP solution to install the web part or did you rather add the DLL manually to the application BIN folder ? In this case you might have a permission problem which can be solved by moving the DLL to c:\windows\assembly (followed by an "iisreset" command). Steve Oke   8/6/2010 17:41  Fantastic, works perfectly. Thanks for the very quick response! Jenny   8/11/2010 13:55  Its giving me error as sharepoint list not found Juerg   8/11/2010 14:04  Jenny, this can have several reasons. Can you place the number "4711" into the web part's "Thumbnail Size" field and report back the information now generated by the web part ? jenny   8/12/2010 11:18  hi jurg,i put thumbnail size '4711'.still gives error 'Lightbox:sharepoint list not found.'my site's url is 'http://invkg0069:777/sites/AOIPortal/CallCenter/default.aspx' and Picturelibrary is inside that site content.Please help. Juerg   8/12/2010 11:32  Jenny, did you put the name (not the path) of you Picture Library into the "List Name" field (eg. if you Library is "My Pics", then just put "My Pics" into the "List Name" field) ? If you put the "4711" into the "Thumbnail Size" field, the web part will output additional information about the problem. What does it output in your case ? Jenny   8/12/2010 11:51  yes.my list name is 'Light'.in that i created 1 item with title is 'Hello' and Description is also 'Hello'. i get error Tip of the Day Sharepoint List not found:Light AE Picture Lightbox Title=Hello /sites/AOIPortal/CallCenter/Lists/Light/1_.000 Light: Sharepoint List not found! My site field is empty. Juerg   8/12/2010 12:14  Jenny, could it be that your "Light" list is actually defined as a Sharepoint List whereas it actually should be defined as a Sharepoint Picture Library. Rosa   8/18/2010 03:43  Hi - taken me a while to post this - but here is the info about making a sharepoint page non-right clickable - Add a content editor web part and add following code in the source editor <html> <body oncontextmenu= "return false;">   Right Click not allowed on this page </body> </html> (I got it from : http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointcustomization/thread/18414dc7-4319-476d-8257-9c498c5092b9 )
